Fifth Floor Common Room; Monday Evening [ 09/20 ].

Sure, Ariel had said just streamers and a banner, but there were balloons now thrown into the mix because she couldn't help it. She and Ellie had gotten up all the decorations, which were all very pretty shades of green, based entirely on the fact that Ariel remembered that green was the color of the shirt she'd helped Chuck pick out. There was still an awful lot of flowers around, too, though who even knew where Ariel was getting them. The banner, meanwhile, was certainly not lacking in sparkle, stretched across the room:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUCK!!!!!

So now there would just be the setting out of all the food and the drinks and ever important CAKE, then waiting for guests and the ever important BIRTHDAY BOY and it would be time to party!

[[ up early because of evil things like working and time zones! Slowly approaching OCD is ~~on the way~~ up! Rock out! ]]

To that, Ariel laughed and couldn't even just say maaaaaaybe. She could just blush, bit her lip, and bob her head in a nod.

"He is. But I'm not telling you who!" she added, lifting a finger in warning, but probably not seeming too intimidating with that laugh.

If it was William, Rilla was going to start a very decorous little cat fight.

"Well the boys here are terribly handsome," she said, glancing around the room. "You have good taste."

Ariel would not be so nearly decorous. So, thankfully, it wasn't William.

Following Rilla's pass around at the exceptional eye candy scattered about, Ariel couldn't help nodding in very firm agreement. "Of course I do. Then again, around here, it's almost difficult not to!"

Rilla, who hadn't exactly gotten used to not being the prettiest girl in every room, nodded in a more subdued way. "It really does make it a little hard for a girl to be noticed," she said a bit wistfully.

"Oh, what are you even talking about?" asked Ariel, rolling her eyes playfully and giving Rilla a little nudge with her elbow. "If I'm not mistaken, I think I've noticed at least one of these cute boys noticing you a lot. At least one...."

"Really?" Rilla squeaked, not looking toward William. Really. No reason to think that. Noooope.

Ariel was just going to need a moment to try to hide her grin, because that was just about the cutest thing ever and she just wanted to take the two of them and squish them together.

And she would, too. Oh, yes. She would.

"Really," her head bobbed in a nod. "I mean, how could they not? You really are so pretty. I mean, and William...."

Here, she just subtly trailed off, waiting to see how Rilla responded.

Rilla would say that she blushed at everything, and that this particular blush meant nothing at all! Nothing!

"What of William?" she asked.

"We-ell," said Ariel, "you know we had to serve detention together yesterday and he just may have asked about you a little..."

Which, of course, he hadn't, but what was a little white lie when it came to bringing two of her friends together for love ~~besides a very useful device for learning a very important lesson about honesty and virtue and being a good princess~~?

"He did?!"

Not quite so loud, Rilla, unless you want the entire common room to stare at you.

"Something like that, sure!" said Ariel, easily enough because she figured that response could cover her butt if something tried to bite her in it. "I think there totally might be something there, Rilla..."
